QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 11:50 PM) Quintana has had a good start to the season? Try the last 3 years man... Q's even underrated by his fellow players. SMH. IKR. STFU Donaldson it's not so easy to hit Q.

Put this on the bulletin board Q That was Donaldson letting it fly post game. feels good man, for once it's the Sox leaving other teams second guessing themselves and reeling.

59%

Q's velocity is as good as it's ever been and he's walking even less guys than last year when he dramatically cut his walk rate. This guy is basically a top 10 SP in MLB over the past three years nobody knows about it other than sox fans and some saber nerds. Thank you Yankees for having such a 40 man roster crunch and being cheap as f*** for letting him go. It's amazing how good he looks when he has a defense behind him that can actually make plays.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 11:19 PM) Good to see a couple of more good defensive plays from Adam Eaton. His defense in right has been real impressive. He's been the best defender in baseball according to eye test, DRS and UZR. He's uh, slightly surpassing expectations.

So remember when Gibbons just decided to pretend he didn't have a bullpen and just left an obviously tired/hurt Estrada in to get to 118 pitches? Here's his SP postgame: For all the s*** I give RV, he's never done something 1/2 as stupid and "I'm trying to get fired" as that BS. Way to protect your players, moron.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:44 PM) There ya go Rollins! I would put Webb in for the 9th, I trust him f*** no, leave Jones in and be done with it.

Todd makes it look easy!

Ok no walks buddy. Make 'em hit their way on, got some cushion.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:38 PM) What scouting report on the planet says throw him a slider when pitcher hits 98 No clue what they were thinking. If they threw him a Steve Stone special higher than high fastball at 97 he was toast.

Great swing from Avi there. Stayed back nicely.

looks overmatched.

when Avi hits this three run jack then you can put in Webb.

When did the Joey Votto put on a Melky Cabrera jersey?

Now that is the .300 batting Jose Abreu plate coverage.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:25 PM) Duke has been solid since his rough start to the year. The 2014 version of Duke was one of the most valuable relievers in baseball if he can recreate that success then this bullpen is loaded. You know that for the most part Robertson and Jones are gonna get the job done in the 8th and 9th.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:16 PM) Boy Benetti sure is confident. This Jays team can certainly get back three I know, he needs to stop talking so much about absolute victories and such. I've noticed it in other games as well. When there are 2 outs in the 9th and you're up three, sure, start talking about a victory.

GTFO Gibbons! Hit the road bum!

QUOTE (SouthWallace @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:12 PM) AJAX! Triple! 3-0!! will the owner of the ticket for back to back triples by navarro and jackson please report to...buy some powerball tickets!

QUOTE (chisoxt @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:11 PM) Stupid managing. You can't pretend that you don't have a bullpen that's what I was thinking...then I heard they let him go 129 last year? I mean, wtf! Are you trying to blow out his shoulder?

thank god it stayed in play. Would have screwed them out of a run.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 09:07 PM) Ugh tons of good fastballs to hit and his bat of course is too slow yep. had two right in a row 89 elevated and fouled them off. such a long swing.

helluva an AB, make them pay.

this ump has no idea what is a strike and now that he's changed his zone in game he's paying for it.

well, good hustle at least.
